    Color Palette Favorites

    in Q&A

    Posted

    After you've added your custom color to the first box in "Custom Color" via clicking the "Add to Custom Colors" button,
    press the Tabulator key on your keyboard twice.

    The first press will put the focus to the "Basic Color" palette, showing a black quadrat around one of the color boxes;
    the next press will shift that quadrat to the "Custom Color" palette.

    Now use the arrow keys on your keyboard to put the focus/quadrat to a different box where you want the next color added.

    Request: "Auto-fade when Splitting Clips" option in Preferences

    in Feedback Loop

    Hi Mark. Indeed, it works that way.  The problem I have with the auto-fade function is that it snips the clip at a point prior to and after the desired grid line and fades into or out of your intended split point.  If you do that to a group of tracks and then drag that group of waveforms over a few beats, now EVERYTHING is off by that much because it snaps to the cut where the fade starts.  That's no good.

    If you guys change the S shortcut to do the same and I can't shut it off, it'll ruin me.  I've been using S to split clips for a couple decades man....don't do that to me!  🥺

     

    If you disable "Snap to Nearest Audio Zero Crossings", splitting Clips with ALT + Left Click will follow your Snap settings exactly.

    Using Notes

    Doesn't help that Ctrl+Enter does the same function as just Enter in other places, whilst Shift+Enter (which is the shortcut to add a line break in essentially everything else) is not mapped to anything.

    Well, Ctrl+Enter certainly helps if you want to add a line break in Inspector and Take Lanes notes.

    It's the only way to do it.

    If you need comprehensive notes for a track, the Melda MNotepad plugin is your best solution for that. The Inspector notes only allow you to write one continuous string of text without multiple lines and the same goes for the Take Notes as well. Don't expect a complete text editor experience from the plugin though. You also have to click on the right keyboard icon to type text into the plugin, as even clicking on "give all keystrokes to plugin" will still trigger keyboard shortcuts.

    Use Ctrl+Enter to add another line.

    Clip Gain Not Exported

    in Q&A

    Posted

    After more extensive testing, I can now reliably reproduce this bug.  It happens when exporting WAV and MP3 audio.  I have not tested the other audio formats. 

    I have a simple project with one track and one clip.  The FIRST time I export audio after opening the project, the Clip Gain is included.  The SECOND time I export, the Clip Gain is ignored.  I am doing nothing other than opening the project, then exporting the same audio twice. 

    If I move the clip forward or backward in time, the next export is fine, but the one after that, again, ignores the Clip Gain.

    Bouncing to Clips and/or Flattening Comp sometimes resolves this, but not always.  Even after bouncing or flattening the Clip Gain is sometimes ignored, but not always. 

     ^^^

    That would mean not only your exports don't work as they should but also the bounce process, which is a really important and fundamantal feature.

    Bouncing has less routing possibilities and user interaction than exporting, so doing some tests only with the "Bounce to Clip(s)" command on one Clip (no additional Lanes) could be helpfull.

    After right-clicking the Clip and selecting "Bounce to Clip(s)" you should immediately see the applied Clip Gain in the new waveform and peak levels.
     

     

    Why does Cakewalk STALL when my mouse moves from "FILE" to "HELP"??

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    After reading your other thread about Intra-/Internet,

    my recent experience is maybe related:

    While trying to check for updates I had repeatable crashes after clicking the mentioned "Help" menu.

    And because I had problems that day with opening some websites, too, I looked at my network router settings and saw that the Internet IPv4 connection was lost
    (IPv6 and DSL were still running).

    After the reconnection to IPv4 Cakewalk didn't crash anymore when clicking the "Help" menu.

    backup sound card device names different?

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted · Edited by Klaus

    I don't have a solution unfortunately but maybe another workaround:

    Cakewalk stores the MIDI device settings in the TTSSEQ.ini file under
    "C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core". *

    The idea of the workaround would be to create two different TTSSEQ.ini files,

    one for each of your UC MIDI devices and then creating a batch script which will rename/copy the relevant TTSSEQ.ini file to the Cakewalk folder.

    So, at the end, you'd have to double click the batch file (and remember to do so) before you plug in the MIDI device UC-1 or UC-2.

    At least a bit faster than reinstalling the driver, I think.
     

    * Edit:

    The path for TTSSEQ.ini in Sonar 8.5 is different of course, but the name is the same, IIRC.

    Reduce the limited loop size on playback.

    I have reported this before, and workaround are often a pain to isolate the region to be worked on. When making cuts on the specific area the loop points do not go further than an 1/8th snap note on the grid, This means: If you had make cuts in a 128th of a snap - you're by yourself. Even with the snap off it does work, nor, by holding Ctrl, Shift or in a combination of these keys. The reason is to get a surgical and precise region on the playback to tame some transients and to do precise comping | or | to add some dynamics to it.

    I can do cuts in samples/ticks and all that, but to get that precise area to work on, is a guessing game with the playback loop points not going smaller than an 1/8th snap note in the measure/bar.

    I can't reproduce this.

    When Snap to Grid is set to 1/128, Loop Markers will snap to that value.

    According to your pic, your Snap to Grid module is set to 1/8.

    One thing that helped me learn to avoid that was the little mixcube, I spend a lot of the time working in mono which really highlights when parts are in the way of each other as well as being a great tool for balance.

    Another single MixCube user here, and your tracks sound really great on it!

    True mono with only one speaker/driver reveals even the tiniest flaws in the (most) important midrange.

    Your mixes translate perfectly, very well done!

    Thanks for sharing!
